Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Thank god I absolutely hate the taste and texture of mushrooms.
I thought I hated mushrooms but it turns out the most common grocery store mushroom is just the worst kind. Crimini/button/portabello it's all Agaricus bisporus and it sucks. Enoki mushrooms opened my eyes and so far I've liked every single mushroom I've tried that isn't that dogshit A bisporus rubbery mud.
I guess. But I don't think my family ever had bought mushrooms apart from shiitake and truffles. All the rest were hand picked in the forest.
I used to hate the texture, but if cooked right they will be tender (canned mushrooms are probably better added near the end of cooking). Gumminess can also be masked by balancing it with other food (particularly meat, vegetables like potato/squash/broccoli) to chew against/alongside it.
Probably doesn't help if you don't like the taste, though that could just come down to mushroom variety if not also what dish it's in (spices etc).
My family loves mushrooms so there are many types they eat. And I don't like any of them.
I once went for pizza with my gf and had to help her eat hers as well (she can never eat a whole pizza herself). She sadly ordered one with mushrooms and even after taking them off I could not eat more than one piece without getting a strong feeling that I am going to throw up.
Admittedly the mushrooms had quite a strong taste (not the typical ones put on pizza, those barely have any taste hut I still remove them). They left so much of the taste behind it almost made me puke. I just cannot stomach the taste. I have however noticed the mushroom soup my grandma makes (not the cream type) does not have such a strong mushroom taste so I can eat it with just picking out the shrooms.
I do too... except for shiitake mushrooms, which I absolutely love.
Other than that, I have yet to have a mushroom I really like. Some of them (like the white kind they put on pizza) I would rate as tolerable.
I mean thw stuff they put on pizza barely has any taste at all. At least here. It's the texture that is disgusting.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the texture either. But I can tolerate it.
Shiitake mushrooms though... nothing similar in taste or texture. They do have to be prepared by someone who knows how to prepare them right because it does take a little experience, and they're also expensive unless you want to get them dried and reconstitute them, but those aren't nearly as good.
That said, if I am in a restaurant and I see them on offer, I will order them.
Portabellos are super disgusting to me. They taste like dirt and have a mouthfeel like dirt too.
Interesting note that you may not know, surprised me when I learned it way back.
Those little white mushrooms that are everywhere, that are on pizza and you get in the store and portabellos (and cremini, if you've had those)? Same mushroom species! Just picked at different stages in their life cycle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_bisporus
The above is what most people in the US think of if one talks about a "mushroom".
I've seen creminis occasionally.
Those are commonly sold as stuff like meat substitutes on burgers.
I think that shiitakes are probably the most-commonly-available species other than that that I've seen commercially available.
My own favorites are powdered porcini -- I don't like the smell before being cooked, but they're great at adding umami to cooked dishes, and the power is easy to get online -- and wood ear mushrooms. Wood ears have very little taste, but a neat crunchy texture. I do 'em with olive oil. I can only get them occasionally, fresh, when stores in the area carry them.
Huh! TIL.
Don't know about portabellos. Not sure the same mushrooms even grow here as where you are. We mostly eat ones we pick outselves. I never liked going mushroom picking.
Have you tried Lion's Mane? Has a meaty texture, you might dig it.
I have not, but I will look into it at some point, thanks.
Lions mane and chicken of the woods. Grill em, hit em with some garlic butter and lemon pepper. Pretty dang good imo.
have you tried Pleurotus? It's texture and taste is quite similar but relatively weaker.
It grows on wood like shiitake.
I have not. Thanks.
